X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE Actor Scott Adkins Joins Marvel's DOCTOR STRANGE

The latest addition to the cast of Marvel's currently shooting Doctor Strange is actor and martial artist Scott Adkins, who'll be most familiar to CBMers for his portrayal of Deadpool (well, what they passed off as Deadpool) in X-Men: Origins: Wolverine. More past the jump...

Following the news that Amy Landecker has signed on, The Wrap reports that Scott Adkins has also joined the cast of Marvel's Doctor Strange in an undisclosed role. He'll star alongside Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Mads Mikkelsen, Tilda Swinton and Michael Stuhlbarg.

Though the character he's playing is being kept under wraps, apparently he'll "have several major action scenes featuring hand-to-hand combat." Well, that's pretty much a given - but is there an established Marvel superhero or villain that fits the bill here? Be sure to sound off with your theories below.

Scott Derrickson directs the mystical comic book adventure, which tells the tale of neurosurgeon Stephen Strange (Cumberbatch), "who after a horrific car accident discovers a hidden world of magic and alternate dimensions."

Doctor Strange hits theaters on Nov. 4, 2016.

In an unspecified role of course...seriously, not every character is like some huge surprise that is just waiting to be unveiled. announcing cast without a character pisses me off because then we get 10 editorials titled "who is blank going to be playing???"

I really hope its an insignificant role with no dialogue. Adkins is a horrible actor.

He's not a great actor or anything, but he was fine in UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: DAY OF RECKONING.

Really hope he isn't Wong though.

He's probably Wong and he'll teach Strange how to fight like in the comics.

Can anybody think of some magical jumpy kicky people he might be? Only reason I could imagine them casting him is for such a role.

This guy was the WORST in that Hercules movie last year! Holy shit he was bad!

Give him a non-speaking role and we should be alright

Yep, back in the 2013 Batman casting days I remember people saying Scott Adkins should be Batman cause he can fight... and not much else.
